POLL: Is It Time To Fire Bradley?

[powderblueboy]

Kyzir is on pace for for 150 tackles (10+ 3 weeks straight), and has 14 defensive stops. Has been taken advantage of in a few deep route situations.
Uchenna has 2 sacks, 6 QB hits, and 16 pressures while only playing about 50% of snaps.
DKing has been the highest graded SCB in the NFL the past 2 weeks.
Jones isn’t playing due to injury.
Nasir has been so so while getting his first real NFL snaps.
Jerry is trash as a run defender and will only be good in a limited role.

King has been playing well - why did they demote him and is there a future for him here?
Uchenna is on pace for 6-7 sacks this season: he's a nice complementary player - when i watch him, he generally doesn't get much pressure, but he's always alert (I've missed a few games)
Kyzir has been a liability in the 4rth quarter...that's not good.
Jones has been a disappointment
Tillery has been a disappointment
Nasir is a rook, he hasn't shot out of the gate.

Collectively, i'm somewhat underwhelmed.

Or Telesco

Bradley had a rep for finding draft gems in the later rounds; i'm sure he has had a lot of influence in the defensive side of the draft.
Derwin was a home run (health aside), no one else has consistently told me that this is a guy who will be here for the next 8 years.

King had a rough 2019 and some personality conflict with staff. No I don’t think we will resign him.
Nwosu production is directly tied to his snaps. 6-8+ sacks, 20+ QB hits, and 50ish QB pressures is not a bad season.
Kyzir we disagree on.
Jones is disappointing in his health.
Rest I concur.

Thats InvisiMel territory alright. Mel is a gonner if we get the same production from Uchenna. I guess that means Mel has been a complimentary type player,.....to Bosa instead of a ligit pass rush force.
Trade Him!

@what price would you consider retaining Mel ?? is $11m/year too much for you ??

Not for me if he can play at the same level as the previous years and do it without a grudge against Bosa's paycheck. So it comes down to attitude going forward.

I might consider $10 mil for the first year, $8 mil for second year with playoff incentives, then an out. Unless the Bolts can sign a decent edge rusher or two, the Bolts look impotent without him...and I was one of the ones on the "let Mel go" bandwagon...

They look impotent because this front office failed at getting pass rush depth. Did they sign any pass rushers this offseason?

Yes, too much..I don't want to retain Mel.

We looked impotent with him.

i think my point is that these guys need to be producing a whole lot better to warrant continuing with Bradley and his style of D.
The idea of not changing defenses because these guys might not fit is not a major issue in my opinion.
Bradley has not found any day two or middle round gems here.

Bosa, James, Murray will succeed in pretty much any style of defense

Do you count Damion Square? Because he's crap. He doesn't provide any pass rush, and he isn't a threat in one-on-ones against opposing OLs. He's also contributed to why this team has sucked in run defense in all these years he's been with the team.
